Switzerland, 15 September 2022

To my tennis family and beyond,

Of all the gifts that tennis has given me over the years, the greatest, without a doubt, __21__ (be) the people

I've met along the way: my friends, my competitors, and most of all the fans who give the sport its life. Today, I

want to share some news with all of you.

__22__ many of you know, the past three years have presented me with challenges in the form of injuries and

surgeries. I've worked hard to return to full competitive form. But I also know my body's capacities and limits, and

its message to me lately has been clear. I am 41 years old. Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would

have dreamt, and now I must recognize when it is time to end my competitive career.

I would like to especially thank my amazing wife Mirka, who has lived through every minute with me. She

warmed me up before finals, watched countless matches even while over months pregnant, __23__ endured my

goofy side on the road with my team for over 20 years. I also want to thank my four wonderful children for

supporting me, always eager to explore new places and __24__ (create) wonderful memories along the way. Seeing

my family cheering me on from the stands is a feeling I will cherish forever.

I would also like to thank and recognize my loving parents and my dear sister, without whom __25__ would

be possible. I really want to thank and acknowledge my amazing team, Ivan, Dani, Roland, and particularly Seve

and Pierre, __26__ have given me the best advice and have always been there for me. Also Tony, for creatively

managing my business for over 17 years. You are all incredible and I have loved every minute with you. I want to

thank my loyal sponsors, who are really __27__ partners to me; and the hard-working teams and tournaments on

the ATP Tour, who consistently welcomed all of us with kindness and hospitality. I would also like to thank my

competitors on the court. We battled fairly, with passion and intensity, and I always tried my best to respect the

history of the game. We pushed each other, and together we took tennis to new levels.

Above all I __28__ offer a special thank you to my unbelievable fans. You will never know how much

strength and belief you have given me. The inspiring feeling of walking into full stadiums and arenas has been one

of the huge thrills in my life.

__29__ my love of tennis started, I was a ball kid in my hometown of Basel. I used to watch the players with a

sense of wonder. They were like giants to me and I began to dream. My dreams led me to work harder and I started

to believe in myself. Some success brought me confidence and I was on my way to the most amazing journey that

has led to this day.

So, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, to everyone around the world who has helped make

the dreams of a young Swiss ball kid __30__ (come) true.

Finally, to the game of tennis: I love you and will never leave you.

Just Focus on Your Own Way

Head held high as she took the court moments after her Chinese team entered the arena, she waved and smiled

in several directions. She then paced around the floor observing China's championship __31__ from Serbia （塞尔

维亚）. She proudly sang through the national anthem, guided her team to defend the title and made her own

history, too. Lang Ping became the first person to win back-to-back World Cup championships both as a player

(1981, 1985) and as a coach (2015, 2019).

Lang, a significant cultural icon in China, rose to __32__ as a volleyball player in the early 1980s. She, along

with her teammates, was __33__ four-time world champions in international competitions between 1981 and 1985.

This __34__ of victories pushed women's volleyball to the forefront of Chinese sports discussions. Before this time,

only table tennis had taken on a characterization as the sport in which the Chinese boasted about an outright

__35__. As the leading outside hitter（主攻手）, Lang herself was honored as the MVP of women's volleyball at

the 1984 Olympics.

After she retired from playing, Lang moved to the United States to experience what she called a "normal life",

__36__ herself from her national fame. In 1987, she started coaching the women's volleyball team at the University

of New Mexico. Having honed her coaching skills with these young athletes over a five-year period, Lang became

the head coach of China women's national team in 1995. She ultimately led the team to a silver medal at the 1996

Olympics and a second place at the World Championship two years later. In 2005, Lang set her __37__ on a new

challenge: coaching the U. S. women's national volleyball team. The first foreign female to coach a major sport for

the United States, she devoted herself to the job, despite __38__ criticism back home. Lang returned to coach the

Chinese national team for the second time in 2013. After guiding the team to the gold medal at the 2016 Olympics,

she became the first person in volleyball history to __39__ Olympic titles both as a player and as a coach. However,

when asked about her success, Lang just said, "It's not important for me to make history. But I'm so happy for the

girls. They trained very hard."

Lang's __40__ life is displayed in a recently announced documentary entitled The Iron Hammer, named after

her nickname. The film not only tells her story but showcases her internal strength and commitment to greatness in

the sport. Furthermore, her ability to break down gender barriers has inspired women to achieve new heights in the

sport, a legacy that still inspires hope in the youth of today.

III. Reading Comprehensions

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in

each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

We hold certain professions to a higher standard when it comes to the mental health of their workers, and for a

good reason. Doctors, police officers and pilots, __41__, have jobs that put others' safety in their hands. So as

evidence mounted about the psychological condition of Andreas Lubitz, a co-pilot in the March 24 Germanwings

plane crash in 2015, it raised important questions about how to safeguard against such __42__.

Lufthansa, the parent company of Germanwings, says Lubitz had __43__ the airline of a "serious depressive

episode" in 2009 in his record, back when he was training to be a pilot. Investigators say Lubitz's record also

indicated "suicidal tendencies". While it's not clear why Lubitz apparently drove the plane into a mountainside in

the French Alps, his case puts __44__ on the imperfect system for screening and supporting - pilots who are

depressed or __45__ other psychological conditions.

In the US, commercial pilots over 40 must submit to a physical and mental __46__ every six months; before

age 40 it's once a year. Physical health is easier to quantify than mental wellness, however. "You somehow __47__

to see if the pilots is well, and it's not the easiest thing," says Dr. Alpo Vuorio, a physician at the Mehilainen Airport

Health Center in Finland who has studied depression and suicide.

Most airlines have psychological support programs for its crews: it's a matter of __48__ pilots to take

advantage of them. "It's a macho thing. You don't want to admit you need help," says Scott Shappell, a professor at
